It had excellent effects, too, for such an early film.&nbsp;&quot;We have a picture book by the man who made this movie,&quot; said my colleague, &quot;<a href="http://ipac.librarypoint.org/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=13220563O6WR1.329&amp;profile=remote&amp;source=~!horizon&amp;view=subscriptionsummary&amp;uri=full=3100001~!465683~!0&amp;ri=2&amp;aspect=basic_search&amp;menu=search&amp;ipp=20&amp;spp=20&amp;staffonly=&amp;term=invention+of+hugo+cabret&amp;index=.GW&amp;uindex=&amp;aspect=basic_search&amp;menu=search&amp;ri=2#focus">The Invention of Hugo Cabret</a>, by Brian Selznick.&quot;</p>
<p>What a big book, made of half pictures, half words! The reader is drawn into the world of Hugo Cabret, a boy who lives in the walls of a train station in Paris. He is not always alone, but he is trying to keep himself a secret. His uncle used to wind and fix the many clocks in the train station, but he disappeared. Now Hugo winds them, and works on a project of his own. He has a mechanical man, a legacy of his father, and a notebook of drawings of the works of the mechanical man. Hugo needs parts for his project, so he steals them from the grumpy old man&#39;s toy booth at the station. Hugo does not realize the grumpy old man has secrets too....</p>
